The Sanlam Auditorium on the University of Johannesburg’s Kingsway campus burned down overnight.
The campus’ Student Representaive Council took to Twitter - UJ Kingsway SRC @UJAPK_SRC - to confirm the burning on Monday: “Yes! The Sanlam Auditorium has burnt down to the ground & e-labs affected heavily. We will release a statement soon.”
The university’s spokesperson‚ Herman Esterhuizen‚ told EWN that “there is no fire at the moment” and said its cause was unknown.
#UJFire trended in Johannesburg with many users seeming to suspect protesting students for the blaze.
Thabiso @tmadiba wanted to know: “Excuse my ignorance but what is the protest about? #UJfire”.
mavhungu @divhambelemaano asked: “Where does this culture of burning our key service structures inherited from? #Ujfire #Vuwani #VUTprotest”.
The latter two hashtags referred to schools in Limpopo that were torched recently and the Vaal University of Technology where operations were cancelled following a fire attack last week.
